A quick explanation: The funding of the United Nations comes from contributions by all member states and it’s based on each country’s capacity to pay in relation with its gross national income (GNI). For example, the U.S. pays the 22 % of this year’s budget, while least developed nations are allowed to pay just 0,01%. Venezuela’s contribution is 0.627%.

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has to cough up $5,113,575 if we want to regain the right to vote in the UNGA. Amazingly, we top the list with the biggest maulas, since we’ve been building up arrears over two years. In a distant second comes… Somalia.
